The objective of the Renewable Energy Integration Project for Turkey is to assist Turkey in meeting its increased power demand by strengthening the transmission system and facilitating large-scale renewable energy generation.
... See More + The project has four components. (1) Development of transmission infrastructure to facilitate faster development of Wind Power Plants (WPPs) component will develop three 380kV 500 MVA highly digitalized sub-stations with associated grid connection structures for evacuation of wind power in the areas of Can, Izmir and Vize. The proposed structures will include high voltage (HV) substations, HV grid interfacing equipment, smart-metering systems, feeders (underground cables), tele-metered dispatch systems, digital protection systems, supervisory systems, and automatic voltage control systems. (2) Smart-grid investments component will strengthen grid operation and management in face of higher wind energy generation. (3) Lapseki 2-Sutluce 2 380 kV Submarine Power Cable component will insure a better inter-connect wind energy locations with other parts of Turkey. (4) Strengthening of transmission networks component will cater the investment needs for 380kV bulk-transmission and 154 kV sub-transmission network expansions to meet rapidly increasing demand and supply.

The development objective of the Renewable Energy Integration Project for Turkey is to assist Turkey to meet its increased electricity demand while containing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by strengthening the transmission system and facilitating large-scale renewable energy generation.
... See More + Negative impacts include: solid and hazardous waste management, noise pollution, electric and magnetic field intensities at ground level, health and safety, pesticide use for land clearance, cultural heritage, and natural habitats. The environmental assessment indicates that a project would significantly convert or degrade natural habitats, the project should include mitigation measures: minimizing habitat loss (e.g., strategic habitat retention and post-development restoration). Establishing and maintaining an ecologically similar protected area. Other forms of mitigation measures could be accept only when they are technically justified.

The Renewable Energy Integration Project seeks to ensure economical and uninterrupted transmission of electricity generated at generation facilities in Turkey.
... See More + While efforts are taken to minimize land acquisition and resettlement in the implementation of the project, a resettlement policy framework is formulated to address this issue in the eventuality of its necessitation. Persons affected by the project are the owners, renters or users of immovable properties corresponding to the routes of electricity transmission lines, locations of the substations and locations where the submarine power cable will be connected to land. In order to ensure adequate and appropriate compensation to those affected, fair valuation of assets and suitable compensatory measures must be implemented. The World Bank's stance on involuntary resettlement and the steps to be taken in such an eventuality are detailed herein.
